"Don't Just Go Sign The Biggest Name And Hope To Win Champions League": Ex-Liverpool Star Questions PSG's Strategy

Having lost the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 first leg to Bayern Munich at home, PSG are staring at an early exit from the competition.

French giants Paris Saint-Germain stare at another early exit from the UEFA Champions League despite possessing one of the strongest attacks in Europe. Despite having the likes of Lionel Messi, Neymar Jr., and Kylian Mbappe in the team, the Ligue 1 side is yet to wear the European Champions' crown. Former Liverpool and Manchester City star Mark Seagreaves, speaking of PSG's performance after their 0-1 defeat to Bayern Mich at home, has questioned the club's bosses over their strategy.

Seagreaves, in a chat with NDTV in a select media interaction set up by Sony Sports Network, didn't express confidence in PSG's strategy to sign the 'biggest name in the market' and hope to win the Champions League title by putting him in the team.

"When we talk about PSG, we talk about Neymar, Messi and Mbappe. As a team, they've got quality players but not the players to play week in week out at the highest level. Ligue 1 is not that great a league. The likes of PSG will be in contention to win that league every single year. When you look at Premier League, you see how many teams are in contention to win the league and it's a really competitive league. Bundesliga this year, has been really competitive. When that is the case, teams that are in such leagues will go deeper, in the Champions League which is equally as good as the world cup in terms of quality.

PSG have signed the likes of Neymar, Mbappe and Messi in the last few years but still haven't been able to go the distance in the Champions League.

"You need to have a strong team, squad, not just 3 or 4 superstars. I feel, with PSG, they might have to change a little bit. Not sign the biggest stars but build a team. Don't just go out and sign the biggest name, put him in the team and hope to win the Champions League. That's not gonna happen," he said.
